A new paper introduces the concept of "multivectors" for information retrieval, demonstrating an exponential separation in expressive power between single-vector and multi-vector embeddings. The research, which builds on prior work by Jayaram, establishes that single-vector embeddings require exponential size to rank documents effectively in certain scenarios, while multi-vector embeddings can achieve this with polynomial size. To test these findings, the authors developed a new benchmark called ANDOR, which highlights the limitations of current single-vector models and shows the superior performance of multi-vector approaches.
